World Environment Day Forests: Nature At Your Service | 05 June

World Environment Day (WED) is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. WED activities take place all year round but climax on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere.

WED celebration began in 1972 and has grown to become the one of the main vehicles through which the UN stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.

WED is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves, the wonderful animals who share our planet and the future generations. Everyone counts in this initiative and WED relies on you to make this happen! We call for action – organize a neighbourhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, plant a tree or better yet organize a collective tree planting effort, walk to work, start a recycling drive . . . the possibilities are endless.
